This position-time graph describes an object's motion. Use it to determine the

We're happy that you're asking for the "displacement", because displacement is simply the straight-line distance between the start-point and end-point, and we don't care about any of the motions or gyrations along the way.

From the graph:

-- The location of the object at time-zero, when time begins, is  10 meters.

-- The location of the object after 6.0 seconds is  4 meters.

-- The distance between the start-point and end-point is

(final location) - (initial location)

-- So Displacement = (4 meters) - (10 meters)

<em>Displacement = -6 meters</em>

A boat floats in a lake. When the boat moves the force of resistance is proportional to the velocity of the boat. Initially the
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer: Contant.

Explanation:

You are given that When the boat moves the force of resistance is proportional to the velocity of the boat. This means that the total momentum on the boat is equal to zero. Then the boat remains at a certain position.

When a person walks from the stern to the bow of the boat, the boat will tend to move in the opposite direction with equal magnitude of momentum. The magnitude of forces will thereby cancel out.

The person will be seen moving while the boat moves in the opposite direction.

If no external force is acting on the boat, the sum of the momentum of the person and the boat will be equal to zero. And the boat will remain at rest.

The position of the boat long time after the person stopped moving will therefore remain the same.

How has the model of our solar system changed over time?
sineoko [7]
It depends.<span>Ptolemy was one of the most famous astronomers who was convinced that or solar system was geocentric, or revolving around the earth. Then, Copernicus came around, along with Galileo, and the attempted to convince people that that wasn't true, but that we were revolving around the sun. In fact, if you're writing an essay, a good point to add would be that Galileo spent a large part of his life imprisoned for "disobedience of the (Roman) Gods.)"</span>

Two exactly similar wire of steel and copper are stretched by equal force.if the total elongation is 10cm.find how much each wir
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

The copper wire stretches 6.25 cm and the steel wire stretches 3.75 cm.

Explanation:

Young's modulus is defined as:

E = stress / strain

E = (F / A) / (dL / L)

E = (F L) / (A dL)

Solving for dL:

dL = (F L) / (A E)

The wires have the same force, length, and cross-sectional area.  So:

dL₁ + dL₂ = (FL/A) (1/E₁ + 1/E₂)

Given that dL₁ + dL₂ = 0.10 m, E₁ = 20×10¹⁰ N/m², and E₂ = 12×10¹⁰ N/m²:

0.10 = (FL/A) (1/(20×10¹⁰) + 1/(12×10¹⁰))

FL/A = 0.75×10¹⁰ N/m

Solving for dL₁ and dL₂:

dL₁ = (FL/A) / E₁

dL₁ = (0.75×10¹⁰ N/m) / (20×10¹⁰ N/m²)

dL₁ = 0.0375 m

dL₂ = (FL/A) / E₂

dL₂ = (0.75×10¹⁰ N/m) / (12×10¹⁰ N/m²)

dL₂ = 0.0625 m

The copper wire stretches 6.25 cm and the steel wire stretches 3.75 cm.

Two angles are supplementary. The first angle measures 40°. What is the measurement of the second angle?
e-lub [12.9K]

Supplementary angles add up to 180°. 
If one is 40°, then the other is  (180° - 40°)  =  140° .

None of those choices describes a plane. 
Choice 'C' is the only example of a plane.

A person runs 15 kilometers in two hours what is his/her average speed ​
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

\displaystyle V=7.5\ km/h

Explanation:

<u>Average Speed </u>

If an object travels a distance d in a time t regardless of the direction, the average speed is the quotient of the distance over the time:

\displaystyle V=\frac{d}{t}

It's known a person runs d=15 kilometers in t=2 hours, thus his/her average speed is:

\displaystyle V=\frac{15\ km}{2\ h}

Calculating:

\boxed{\displaystyle V=7.5\ km/h}
